The @. A. r. Boys Go On Their Wend.
ing Way 90 the Natoaal

A vast crowd Of citizens and COM
rades eOngregsted at the Union Pa
eific depot an hour fully before the
excursiOnists to the National G.. A.
r. eneamfment, which begun Mon
day at st. Louis, took theii depar-
ture for st. Louis.
About o'clock Saturday night
two cara chair car and a passen-
ger eOaeh-were cut of at the
Salina depot by the L. p. folks
under contract with the post.
The lateness Of the hour precluded
decorating the cars the same evening
hence the performance OF this
work was necessarily deferred to
yesterday morning, but finished at
an early hour. The decorations
were nicely done and showed or
with splendid effect, being large,
clear-cut lettering, fully fifteen
inches deep, and was executed by
Harry Curry, Of the Sejtz drug store.
Both sides of each car were done up
in similar style. Red, white and
blue bunting, symbolic Of the Amer
ican flag, was passed in wavy folds
along the crest Of the chair car, on
each side, and underneath the win
dOws the full length Of the car. were
streamers, as follows:
"JOhn A. Logan Post, No. I27( pie
ture Of John A. Logan Salina,
Kansas"
The passenger coach was adorned
with streamers, similar to the chair
ear, but devoid OF bunting,as follows:
"Salina Board Of Trade"
intermediate Board" and "Of,"
Westward the Star Of the En-
pire Takes its Course. But il
Centers at Salina, Kansas" en-
braced in an elongated circle fif-
teen inches deep.
The regular passenger train, due
at ll:3O o'clock, its nine coaches
loaded down with a surfeit Of Joyous
humanity from the west mostly des-
tined for st. Louis, passed by Sa-
lima on time. and was soon followed
by an engine and a single empty
coach, started out from Brookville.
to pick up stragglers, as may be said |
IN soldier parlance. The two ears !
which had already been filled with |
old soldiers and citizens, were quick
~ hitehed TO the forward ear and |
they went speeding forward on the
journey which meant recreation and |
a renewal of eventful times and in
cidents Of twenty-Odd years ago.
Salina, which leads i'm everything
i'm Central Kansas, was destined To
head that procession. At Abilene,
Junction City, Manhattan and towns
still farther east cars were attached
till a great large train pulled into
Kansas City, but mind you the ears
from Salina, with their expressive
adOrnings, were at the front by |
right OF position.
The boys will be gone most of the
week, some longer and some for a
shorter period. A portion Of them
will avail themselves Of the oppor-
tunity to visit relatives further
east, with their wives.
We all wish them unbOunded en-
jOyment ON this trip. II cannot
help melting out much happiness to
them. They deserve IL, and weiwhO
remain at home do not begrudge
hem a particle Of the happiness to
rnsue to them.

continued Mr.. FredericksOn, "the

The Junction City Union says:
The q. A. RS went of to st.
Louis Sunday noon with flying col
Ors, bands playing, crowds rushing
here and there, and long trains Of
excursiOnists passing all afternoon.
The Commonwealth says:
The Union Pacific carried about
5000 Kansas and Colorado veterans
to the national eneampment at st.
Louis. They rau four sections, forty
coaches i'm all, through this city
Sunday and Sunday night.
The Rock Island people are feeling
quite good over tie fact that their
line got at least their share Of the
Kansas veterans for the national en-
campment. They sold i'm round
numbers 300 tickets IN Topeka, which
was more than was sold by any OF
their competitors, and they sent out
from their lines in this state via this
city and Kansas City twenty-five
coach loads OF eXcursiOnists-abOu
! 500 persona. Three large trains
left the city Sunday evening via the
the Rock Island route and were run
through to st. Louis without change.

"Wise men change, butfOOls never"
Mr.. Martin was supported then by
this paper - the Republican nOmi-

condolences, such as he has since
proved himself the migrate, selfish
and perfidous. In view Of the

Speaking of various superstitions,
the Salina JOURNAL says il knows OF
a man who, while on his way to Sa-
lima to engage in the newspaper bus
mess, was successfully put i'm room
IL at Topeka, Junction city and Sa-
lima and he soon returned home dis
couraged. The editor Of the Union
remembers several years ago, while
east on a trip, Of seeing the new
moon over his right shoulder six
consecutive nights in six different
places. The editor Of the JOURNAL
uptO this time has believed George
Martin, of the Union to be a teetO-
ler!l This, of course indicated
that things were charming at home.

Our recollection is that the sup
pOrters Of G. S. Martin have urged
that he Is entitled to second term.
The course Of &. S. Radeliff and G.
5. Martin are at variance with this
inspiration, for both Radcliff and
Martin personally went to A. NJ.
Campbell when he first thought of
being a candidate for register Of
deeds and urged him TO be candi-
date for county treasurer, pledging
him their support. The present in
cumbent Of the treasurer's Office j.
IN the same prediciment as Martin,
and is serving his first term. A man
is entitled to a public position just
as long as the people are disposed
to give it TO him; but Radeliff and
Martin do not practice what they
preach and show they want two
terms for the register Of deeds and
one for the county treasurer.
